AX Preview
I must have been in the AX void where no one gets to see most of the people they were hoping to run into. To those I did get to see and hang out with (even for a hot second)... yay! To the others that were obviously traveling in another dimension compared to mine, I hope you guys had fun and hopefully I really will run into you at the next event.
A bunch of us debuted our Ibara costumes Saturday evening. After over a year of plans, delays, more plans and more delays we finally got all together. Here's some preview shots (thanks to Marc for the solo and a cobbled together group shot from two different ones at Fansview.) We got a short shoot in with Jason from i360 that I'm excited to see, but you'll just have to wait for more crotchless pant action (good lord) till then.
Finally got a soeur on Sunday when Ashe and I wore our Maria-sama ga Miteru costumes together! Let's discuss how I totally ate pavement while walking in the most comfortable costume I own, shall we? Actually, let's not. Big thanks to the Zigster for taking photos of us and for Ashe for just being awesome.
Also managed to get two non-cosplay buds to dress up with us. Since Jenn and I aren't sewing fanatics, the easiest thing for us to get that we could all match in was kigurumi! You already know how I love those things, right? Diana in the tiger suit is obviously a shoe-in for a cosplayer as she easily got into the spirit with posing for pictures. Leelyn (Pikachu) was so taken aback by the amount of craziness going on that we had to coax her to stop looking like a deer in headlights whenever someone asked to take a picture of us. hahahaha Thanks for the photos, Marc!
Other than the fact that I didn't see most of you guys, AX was pretty fun! I could've done without the blazing sun and weird layout of the convention center and, in hindsight, I should've stuck around till Monday to hang out more, but other than that no real complaints. Anna Tsuchiya was great and I loved her show, I ate a large portion of at least one cow Saturday at dinner and I almost went to a rave later that night... more on all that later, though.
